I was at home again 🏫


It was 2020 since the last time I went to the college to go to work,  it would pass 2 years since then, everybody knew what happen during this time, so, the college closed down its facilities until all these problems disappear.


During this time, multiples changes were done to the university, a new bus station, new buildings and crosswalks, the interior of the buildings have changed too. I only had seen these changes through social networks, but I didn't have the opportunity to see with my own eyes how the college has changed.


So, I decided to go there and be a witness to these changes, I went with a friend who was a little insecure to go because he felt nervous and uncomfortable about returning to our alma mater. After that, we had decided to go and see how the college was, so we walked to the college and between jokes and laughs we came inside the new bus station, it was really impressive, a big building that counted with parking slots, escalators, and lifts give us a welcome to the new university, all appeared new and sophisticated, the escalators brought us until the new gathering center all this traject was completely new and when we were walking I was though how had I would like to have these new facilities when I was a student.  


Before If you had planned to go through the stairs it would be an enormous challenge because you had to walk for 10 minutes the stairs and when the day was sunny it was really exhausting, now you only walked until the elevator and the escalators are brought you to the campus.


Finally, we had to appreciate all its extensions of the university and how it changes us and our lives, many things changed but seeing students gather again and see run to their classrooms was something that I had lived years before, but now I was seeing since another perspective.


The day when we went to the college was incredible, it was a pretty experience that I will remember, and when the sun came down we go out of the college with a very good feeling and memories.


There is an adagio that says "You only come back to the places where you learned to love the little things of the life".

Working life has introduced me to a whole spectrum of folks, spanning different ages and backgrounds. It's fascinating how age can influence the dynamics within a group. Back in college, my peers were typically within the same age range as me, roughly 20 to 25. But stepping into the workforce erased that age barrier entirely.  In my interactions, I've noticed some distinct patterns. The younger crowd tends to wear their hearts on their sleeves, valuing ideas and relationships above all else. On the flip side, the older and mid-life crew often prioritize climbing the career ladder and accruing material success. Bosses come in all shapes and ages too. Seasoned veterans bring a calm, empathetic vibe to the table, having seen it all before. On the other hand, the millennial bosses I've encountered can be a bit more... fiery. They're quick to react and slow to forgive, making them a bit of a challenge to work with. Sure, millennials might be shaking things up and spearheadin...

Another trip twelve years later

It has been a while since I finished high school, those were some of the best moments I have ever lived, my high school had a vast surface extension, many buildings and sections, and many classrooms crowded with hundreds of students. There, I studied for almost six years, I met good friends, some love and splendid moments that bring me a smile each time I recall. I never thought I missed my time there, when I was a teenager I swore I'd never turn back my sight to that place, now twelve years later I come back to the place that built me as a person. Last weekend, I had to work as an assistant for the referendum election in my country, as the last time I worked in the same position, I already knew what that job meant. To my surprise, the place was my old high school. I felt a nostalgia mixed with foreignness, I was part of that place for many years, but I felt like a stranger when I came back, many places were stagnant in time. I could visit my first classrooms just to find they were...

Prioritizing my to-do list

Since I started to document and follow my routine, endless things undone have reminded me that I need to make them time because they are also important. This feeling generates a guilty sentiment and anxiety for not giving them enough attention. But how do I prioritize among many significant things? Doing exercise is important, eating healthy too, studying and applying for jobs are equally important, but what receives more attention? what is not essential? This situation of deciding what requires more attention has put me in a challenging situation. Do I need to sacrifice my exercise routine to study more? What if I focus only on one thing at a time? While I worked my English routine decreased, and my motivation to study too, because as I mentioned before I was putting more time into either working or exercising. I thought I would have more time to do many things when I was younger, but the reality was different. Being an adult means you need to put some dreams aside if you want to avoi...
